(WAND) - The #22 Illinois Fighting Illini return to Indiana to face the Purdue Boilermakers, instead of those big, bad Hoosiers. 

Illinois returned to the win column with a 34-32 win over the USC Trojans last Saturday in front of an energetic Homecoming crowd. Quarterback Luke Altmeyer was named the Paul Hornung Player of the Week following his four-touchdown performance. Kicker David Olano booted a 41-yard game-winner as time expired. 

Last season, the Illini won the battle for The Cannon in a 50-49 overtime thriller in Champaign.
